Text tabled : A7-0035/2012

  Iva Zanicchi (PPE), in writing. – (IT) The full realisation of an open European Higher Education Area is a requirement for the full integration of the internal EU market and an indispensable tool in terms of growth and employment for overcoming the current period of general economic insecurity. Indeed, the European Union’s recovery depends on: greater interaction between universities, trade unions, professional organisations, research institutions and the business sector; more effective measures on joining the labour market; and supporting policies from Member States designed to encourage professional mobility in Europe along with student mobility. That is why I voted in favour.
